There really is no right or wrong answer in terms of the exact ratio....the more water the lighter the pigment. It's that simple.:thumbsup

Keep in mind these boots are almost like canvas material...if you've ever painted with water and acrylics on canvas then you know that water is your friend. ;) If it's too light make it darker...to dark, make it lighter...and add water for less pigment... works the same.

And the weathering is just that, very random, no paint by numbers here..:lol ..REF PICS REF PICS!!

I hope that helped???:facepalm

Thanks Spidey... My original idea was to work with them on in the garden (nice and dusty/dirty) but this would work better and less chance of me ruining them...:)

Re: CA BOOTS/ Weathering

I really don't think the boots are substantially darker in ESB. In fact the weathering seems to match the ones at AOSW precisely. I think the percieved 'darkness' is from the lighting of the photos, and perhaps slight fading if they were used in the desert scenes in ROTJ like the jumpsuit and gloves...though I don't know if they actually were used in those scenes.

Thanks Rip..:thumbsup
Now to add some Toe Spikes!! .....where's OmegaMan??;)

For the spikes, I sprayed on black paint, then used a rag soaked in thinner to "wear" off the paint.

Re: CA BOOTS/ Weathering

they look great :cheers

maybe a little to light still, when weathering doesn't show up in pics well, you can do tons more.

Here are a couple of shots of my newly weathered boots. Just did them tonight. This tutorial worked out really well. Comments....they seem to be missing something though. I can't put my finger on it but it is rather pointed....:lol You know once these things are weathered no one other than us can really tell the difference.

Just to make sure I understand this and sorry if I am being repetative but does "wash" mean to mix the paint with water?
